Projects must be at least 3 months old. We use Twitter, web domain registration date, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Based on the information provided, the Monthly Earth Day movement was started by the project in September 2022, which indicates that the project has been active for more than 3 months at the time of evaluation.
The Grant must be **primarily focused on climate solutions** (the group may do other work but the grant proposal should be directly related to climate solutions). The proposal should explicitly outline how this project will help reduce GHGs or is an important core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions. - Examples include: Renewable Energy, Oracles & DMRV, Supply Chain Analysis, Carbon Accounting, climate activists / collectives, Natural Systems CO2 Sequestration
The project focuses on environmental cleanups and tree planting, which are activities that contribute to climate solutions by reducing pollution and increasing carbon sequestration.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) **must provide a new update on their progress and impact.** You can also include the challenges you've faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing. - We encourage grantees to mint Hypercerts for the work and the impact they have accomplished. Priority review will be given to grantees who have minted a Hypercert.
The proposal mentions previous results such as trees planted and trash collected but does not clarify if these were achieved under previous Gitcoin funding or if Hypercerts were minted.
All returning grantees are expected to update their proposal, in addition to project updates the proposal should include lessons learned from previous work and how they will use the additional funding from the upcoming round. The updated proposal should indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its goals, and include a rough timeline for the project overall.
The proposal includes plans for how additional funding would be used for hosting cleanup events and for expanding their impact but does not provide a detailed rough timeline for the project.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the **“realm of viability”**. - Even if a project is very early, it must still seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Including information about the team's expertise, qualifications and skills will help us review your grant. - Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project is led by an individual with a clear passion for environmental activism, and the activities mentioned (cleanup events and tree planting) are practical and achievable solutions for environmental improvement.
Grantees can be eliminated from consideration in the round if they are found to be encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
There is no information provided regarding the project's involvement in Sybil attacks or manipulation of the grants platform; thus, a definitive conclusion cannot be made without further investigation.
